He's not talking about the app itself working or not, he means staying through the ota. If the ota doesn't wipe anything, I would think it'd be alright.

They can if you used the test point method

I believe that the screenshot said that the update wasn't going to be pushed until 11:59PM EST today (4/30/12). So we still have about another 12.25 hours to go

The OTA update will begin 11.59pm 4/30 so technically I guess I shouldnt have put 4/30, more like 5/1. And unless you have used test point to unlock your bootlaoder DO NOT OTA you will brick your phone or have it end up on ICU....

I had my bootloader unlocked last summer via Mills, where I provided my IMEI and received my unlock code, so I will NOT be OTA... now I guess I can always relock my bootloader then OTA... but I am going to most likely wait a few days and see how it goes... then go from there...

Ok so still new to rooting this thing. If I restore my nandroid backup from when i first rooted it and changed nothing, I should be good to go right? Except I may lose root unless I use that root keeper program. If i DON'T restore, and update via OTA, will I brick it? (locked bootloader still).

Not me. I had the testpoint unlock done, so sometime tonight I will use Flashtool to restore the .88 ftf and find out what all the hubbub is about. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll do a write-up on the good, the bad and the ugly.

It depends, it might fail, if the updater-script is a pain in the butt for the ota. (another Android device I play around with has a ridiculous hash check for updates that includes a date time check as well as making sure the kernel & recovery have not been modded) odds are against it, and you should be fine with just restoring your original nandroid
